Hi! I'm Georgia, and I'm passionate about caring for kids and families in a thoughtful and creative way. I'm a career nanny—getting to care for children as they change and grow is an incredibly joyful and rewarding experience. I love my job! I have 2.5 years of experience as a pediatric respiratory RN at Seattle Children's Hospital, where I cared for patients ranging from newborns to 18+ years old. After moving to NYC in 2023, I worked as a night nurse for a newborn. I then cared for a 5-year-old boy for a year, and I’ve since been caring for the same child (from 18 months to 3.5 years old) for the last two years. I've also been working as a Studio Manager at a design school for the last two years, but I've decided to care for children full-time now. Quick overview: I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and in my free time I like to knit, walk my dog around Prospect Park, and try new coffee shops with my partner. I have a quiet and calm demeanor, but I'm an energetic caregiver. I don't overstimulate kids, but I encourage silliness, play-based exercise, and letting kids be kids. I am comfortable working with children who have medical diagnoses or needs. I think that being outside is great for our mental and physical health, so I like to bring kids outside to play in all weather (as long as it’s safe and they’re enjoying it!). I have a driver's license, but I don’t have a car and don’t feel comfortable driving such precious cargo around NYC. I view my job as a family support role and as you paying me for my time. That means that if there are multiple kids sometimes, I don't charge extra—bring on the playdates! This also means that I'm happy to run errands, help with housework (laundry, tidying, organizing), etc. Just let me know what you need! I'll be available to work 30+ hours per week starting August 31, 2026, but can interview and do part-time work before then. Please note that I prefer not to work weekends (but can absolutely do weekday evening date-night hours), and I would like to keep working for my current nanny family on Friday afternoons from 1:30–6:30 p.m. Please feel free to message me—I’d love to talk!

Hello, I’ve been babysitting children between the ages 2-13 for 5 years. I am currently an occasional babysitter for three families. I work at an afterschool program at an elementary school where I help with homework and overall just have fun with the children. Working at the after school program taught me how to handle lots of children at one time and patience. I have been a combat medic in the Army National Guard for three years and I’m a certified EMT. I’ve always loved children, working with them has taught me that they aren’t just tiny adults but they’re unique and I’m fully aware of that distinction. Being a biology major at DePaul University, I have always been interested in the medical field. It wasn’t until I worked at a summer camp for special needs children that I decided that I wanted to do medical research on those children, to improve their quality of life. I haven’t narrowed down my specific focus but all I know is that I want to help children.

  I have 21 years of work experience dealing with children ranging from new born's to 7 years old.   My previous work as a babysitter involved taking care of three children, newborn to 5 years old. In addition to the responsibilities listed below, I have completed the requirements for Infant and Child CPR program.   Responsibilities included, feeding, bathing, preparing fresh healthy food, teaching children manners and discipline, and assist with various household responsibilities. Additional responsibilities included communicating with parents on a daily basis about their children's physical activities (ex park, arranging play dates, school lessons etc.  I am willing to start on the job immediately. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact me at 201-539-3720email address (pbalgo@aol.com) so we can talk about meeting arrangements.   Thank you for your time and consideration

🌿 About Me I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Lucia and love returning whenever I can. Being outdoors is one of my greatest joys—I enjoy gardening, planting, and making the most of fresh air. 👩‍👧 Family & Background I’m a proud parent of two children who graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick). My passion for creativity inspired me to pursue studies in Child Development at Penn Foster, though I had to defer my certification for personal reasons. 🎨 Childcare Approach As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of nature, creativity, and art with children. I believe in creating a fun, enriching environment where kids can learn, explore, and grow. 🍼 Experience Since 2021, I have worked as a nanny for three families, caring for children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old. Most recently, in 2025, I cared for a 5‑month‑old, providing attentive supervision, preparing light snacks, and assisting with light housekeeping. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different family needs while ensuring children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, caring support for your little ones!
